Replying to: passatowner (May 18, 2007 1:08 pm) I haven't driven the Solara, but by reputation the Accord is more of a driver's car. It'll probably feel closer to what you're used to in the Passat, though overall it's not quite as sporty as the VW. On the other hand, the Hondas are generally less trouble than VWs, while still being an engaging drive (for the segment). The Toyota is strong in reliability as well, but by all accounts the Solara rides more like a Buick. Nothing wrong with that, if that's what you like. As for negotiating power, I'd say you're in pretty good position on both cars. The Solara is going out of production, as you said, but the Accord is getting an all-new design for 2008. (Spy pics are all over the Web if you're interested in that.) That means '07s will get cleared out. I suspect the resale and repair costs wouldn't be much of an issue with either one, though the Solara's controversial design and orphan status might give the Accord an edge on resale.

Replying to: jmiller417 (May 22, 2007 3:47 pm) ....417 is right on the money. 1. Both have world class reliability (you won't spend much time screwing with the dealer) 2. Based on 80k miles on a Solara V-6 and 35k on a HAV6 6M: the Toyota is great on the highway straitline.........same for the Honda, plus its' got no bounce, bob and weave when pushed on winding roads. HOWEVER, noise intrusion is greater and the suspension transmits more vibration and shock energy on the Accord. .......so there you have it. Different strokes............. best, ez.... |

The word is that the new Altima coupe is going to eat the Accord's lunch. Any truth to this? Which car has the best power, handling and looks? As long as I'm asking, where would you put the Pontiac G6 coupe and the Mitsu Eclipse in the mix?

Ultimately, I think it's going to depend on taste. I drove a fully loaded Altima Coupe 2.5 on Sunday and bought a 2007 Accord Coupe EXL on Tuesday. Why? Because I KNOW that the Accord has a better safety rating (so my insurance is cheaper),and is a reliable vehicle. Yeah, some folks will jump right on the Altima in year one. I decided to let time show me if the car is REALLY the second coming that folks are saying it is.

Got one through my brother... The gas mileage was very disappointing. The EPA estimates 24-34 miles per gallon. I never got better than 28 mpg even on the highway. Typically, on mixed driving I only got 24 mpg. Acceleration was better than expected, quite a lot of get up and go from such a small engine though. The front seats were very uncomfortable. I'm not sure if this is due to the fact that I am tall, or if everyone gets a terrible backache after only an hour in the car. There is a lot of road noise. When it was cold out, the dash/windshield and the Honda window regulator made a rattling noise. Never could figure out exactly where it was coming from. The interior of this car in very pleasing to look at. Mine was silver with all black interior. Expect the black to show every little piece of dirt though. I would have kept this car for a lot longer and probably continued to enjoy it, but with a 2-door link a baby on the way I had to upgrade to something bigger.
